33 sats \ 10 replies \ @itsrealfake 7 Mar \ on: Exquisite post from @BitPaine on the SBR reaction bitcoin
well... at least some of them want to see the end of the nationstate.
I'm not sure how the national entity adopting freedom tech before the individual entities adopting freedom tech should be considered a win for freedom.
I will say, it looks like a win for Satoshi (if satoshi were an NSA spook).
I'm not sure how anybody can draw a coherent line from this version of SBR to everything denominated in sats without first ignoring 1971.
Nations will control onramps, and regions will issue paper bitcoin (or cashu bitcoin, if that's your preference... same trick), and we're locked into the ride.
If you have a fat stack of sats tho, you're gonna get a little bit rich. Good luck to us all... this phase of the war is over, and history will be written by whoever has won it.

Bitcoin was literally invented by the NSA to save the US from the Triffin Dilemma, and the state is, so they're retarded on those grounds alone
freedom tech
Freedom for nation states from globalist banks
1971
When Nixon saved the US from globalists expropriating our gold
Gold being such terrible money though is an important lesson in why Bitcoin had to be created
gonna get a little bit rich
Just as many will use it to stay rich, but more importantly the playing field gets leveled because it ends Cantillon impunity
Good luck to us all... this phase of the war is over, and history will be written by whoever has won it.

I agree with your sentiment here. I think, in general, Bitcoiners are being far too complacent about solving Bitcoin's scaling issues before nation-states have taken total control of on/off ramps. And I'm not even talking about scaling for MoE... I mean just average people being able to self-custody without having to pay an annual salary worth of on chain fees.
However, I do want to push back on your comment here:
(or cashu bitcoin, if that's your preference... same trick)
Sure, cashu bitcoin is not as good as on-chain, cold-storage bitcoin. But it's still very different from the current global banking systems. It's a massive improvement toward monetary freedom.
It's amazing tech, and I'm afraid it's not really being adopted mostly because of sentiment like you're pushing here.

Complacent? they're retarded and obsessed with scaling issues they made up because they don't understand how Bitcoin works.
The only scaling "issue", using that term loosely, is the one no one wants to talk about because it can't be fixed, supply. So, scammers have to lie and fabricate other ones. #906572

And look who he tagged in this more recent one:

He has legitimate grievances with Bitcoin Core, but that not enough attention is given to scaling issues is not one of them.
The scaling issues people talk about don't exist, the one that does exist can't be fixed because no one will go for a supply increase.
What we seem to agree on is that the Bitcoin Core repo should be archived to let changes succeed or fail on merit and not because people blindly trust and upgrade from one repo.
